A further object of the invention is to provide a poison container of the above mentioned character, which is simple in construction, inexpensive, strong and durable and furthermore adapted for the purposes for which it is designated.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing formin a part of this specification and in which like numerals designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the poison container embodying the present invention.

Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof, and

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the same.

In the drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates a poison container which in the present instance is a bottle, the same being substantially rectangular in design the mouth of the bottle being designated by the numeral 2. Extending laterally from the side and ends of the bottle are the diamond shaped spurs 3, any number of these spurs may be provided as is desired and further are so arranged as to prevent a. person from grasping the bottle without coming in contact with the spurs.
